Meaning and background
The story behind Lazaro
Lazaro is the unaccented spelling of Spanish or Portuguese Lázaro, whose deeper root is the biblical name Lazarus. The name ultimately belongs to the Hebrew Elʿazar family, not to the English word laser. In Spain and Latin America the Spanish pronunciations also differ in one consonant. The original catalogue spelling stays Lazaro, while a note can explain the accented forms without silently changing it.
- Origin
- Unaccented form of Spanish or Portuguese Lázaro, from Lazarus and ultimately Hebrew Eleazar. Source
